Abstract

An LED connection module comprises a plurality of LED connection units. Each of the LED connection unit comprises an LED pillar and a housing connected to the LED pillar. The LED pillar comprises a plug. The housing comprises an upper surface and at least one lateral surface. The housing comprising a socket. The socket is defined on the upper surface of the housing. The plug is matching with the shape of the socket to control a power-on mode and a power-off mode of the LED pillar by way of plugging and unplugging. The housing comprises at least one magnet. The at least one magnet is located inside the housing. The housings are attached to each other by interaction forces of the magnets.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An LED connection module comprising a plurality of LED connection units, wherein each of the LED connection unit comprises:
 an LED pillar, wherein the LED pillar comprises a plug; and   a housing connected to the LED pillar, wherein the housing comprises an upper surface and at least one lateral surface; and wherein the at least one lateral surface is perpendicular to the upper surface;   wherein the housing comprises a socket; the upper surface comprises a depression; the housing is substantially hollow; the socket is defined on the upper surface of the housing; the socket extends from the depression of the upper surface to an interior portion of the substantially hollow housing; and wherein the plug matches the shape of the socket to control a power-on mode and a power-off mode of the LED pillar by way of plugging and unplugging; and   wherein the housing comprises at least one magnet; the at least one magnet is located inside the housing; the at least one magnet is close to the at least one lateral surface; and wherein the housings are attached to each other by interaction forces of the magnets.   
     
     
         2 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the LED pillar further comprises:
 a head;   a light-guiding pillar; and   a light-reflecting layer;   wherein the light-guiding pillar comprises a first end and a second end; the first end and the second end are separately located at two ends of the light-guiding pillar; the head is formed at the first end of the light-guiding pillar; the plug is formed at the second end of the light-guiding pillar; and wherein the light-reflecting layer is coated around the light-guiding pillar.   
     
     
         3 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a lower surface opposite to the upper surface; and the socket further extends downward from the upper surface to the lower surface. 
     
     
         4 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises:
 a first lateral surface perpendicularly intersecting the upper surface;   a second lateral surface perpendicularly intersecting the first lateral surface;   a third lateral surface opposite to the first lateral surface and perpendicularly intersecting the second lateral surface; and   a fourth lateral surface opposite to the second lateral surface and perpendicularly intersecting the first lateral surface and the third lateral surface;   wherein the housing comprises four magnets; the four magnets includes a first magnet, a second magnet, a third magnet, and a fourth magnet; and wherein the first magnet, the second magnet, the third magnet, and the fourth magnet are respectively close to the first lateral surface, the second lateral surface, the third lateral surface, and the fourth lateral surface.   
     
     
         5 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the plug has a diameter of about 2.5 mm to about 3.5 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the LED connection unit further comprises an LED light source; and wherein the LED light source is arranged inside the housing and faces the plug. 
     
     
         7 . The LED connection module of  claim 6 , wherein the LED light source is constantly emitting light when the plug is plugged into the socket. 
     
     
         8 . The LED connection module of  claim 6 , wherein a switch controlling the LED light source is formed on the housing to control the power-on mode and the power-off mode of the LED light source. 
     
     
         9 . The LED connection module of  claim 1 , wherein the LED connection unit further comprises an LED light source; the LED pillar further includes a head; the head is located at one end of the LED pillar away from the plug; and wherein the LED light source is located inside the head. 
     
     
         10 . The LED connection module of  claim 9 , wherein the housing further comprises a circuit board; and wherein the LED light source electrically connects to the circuit board through a conducting wire when the LED pillar is plugged into the socket.
